Printhead Pressure
The pressure of the thermal printhead against the direct thermal
media is factory-adjusted. However, the use of thicker or thinner
media than normal could require the printhead pressure to be
readjusted.
Using a straight-slot screwdriver, turn the adjustment screw
clockwise for more pressure (+) or counterclockwise for less
pressure (-). Print a few labels, preferably test labels (see “Setting
Up the Printer” on page 51) and check the printout. Increased
pressure generally gives a darker printout and vice versa. Repeat
until the desired result is obtained.
To return to the factory setting, tighten the screw (+) as far as it
goes and then loosen it (-) four full turns.
Do not use a higher printhead pressure than necessary,
because it may increase the wear of the printhead and shorten
its life.
